Description

Conical turbine powered by water currents Marine and river.

Object of the invention

The present invention, as expressed in the set forth in this specification, refers to a generator electric, powered by marine movement in all directions, as well as river currents. Its main advantage over state of the art is that by its special constitution it makes profitable all water currents, in all possible directions. It is therefore very suitable for the use of currents from both the sea and the rivers.

Its constitution is planned to support all the adversities of the environment, since all its mechanisms of energy transformation of absorbed water movements by the conical propeller they are transformed into rotation than the alternator converts into electrical energy, being its outer fiber glass which makes it extremely waterproof and endowed of a flywheel for marine application in order to achieve greater homogeneity in the production of electrical energy, being able to cancel it in the case of river application, since these are of constant and unidirectional movements.

Its conical cone-shaped constitution conical spiral embracing its outer surface gives it an extraordinary ability to harness the strength of currents, since as the pressure on the conical propeller, increase the revolutions of the turbine which face the currents, wherever they come from thanks to the board homokinetic or cardan of the tubular extension of the axis of the turbine. Inside the cone and conveniently coupled to its shaft are a speed multiplier, a steering wheel inertia and an alternator.

On ships the propellers convert energy rotational generated by the motor in the necessary thrust for the Shift of a ship.

Technical sector

The industrial application of the invention is fits in the sector of water turbines and in particular of conical propeller turbines.

Background of the invention

Different ways of extracting energy are known electric marine movements and river currents, but none is definitive, and this besides transforming directly the energy produced by the pressure of the currents aquatic against the conical helix and spin the cone, in electricity, in addition the design enjoys a great ease of maintenance, since it can be easily removed from the enclave, facilitating your repairs, the capacity and simplicity of your location in both sea and river makes it extremely attractive, since that this does not involve a great infrastructure work, nor does it have any environmental effects, nor does it cause effects visuals if it is submerged. The performance is enormously high. since it does not waste the energy it perceives, it is placed automatically in the direction of the greatest force of the current come where it comes from.

Description of the invention

The invention is constituted from a cone-shaped turbine, or conical turbine, which presents in its exterior a conical solidarity helix whose spiral has a shape aerodynamics such that it gives rotation to the axis of the cone when facing this one from the apex of the cone to the water currents. Turbine conical is fixed to the anchor through the tubular extension of its axis that articulates by means of homocinetic joint with the rest of the tube axial reaching this to the anchor, usually a slab of reinforced concrete, where it is fixed. This type of anchor allows the conical turbine movements in all directions except down, also preventing rotation on the anchor itself, making possible that the conical turbine is oriented in the direction of the current, getting the best use and consequent performance Of the same. The conical turbine floats thanks to the vacuum of its interior, although the weight of the multiplication mechanisms of revolutions, the flywheel and the alternator that they find inside they counteract said buoyancy, which It is complemented with counterweights, which have the function of keep the turbine with the least possible force of the current conical in horizontal position in relation to the bottom, so achieve maximum performance, since by reducing its buoyancy the volume of resistance in the direction of the current is increased, thus increasing its performance. The flywheel is in the upper part of the cone coupled to the shaft by type bearings cassette that prevent the rotation of the shaft backwards, while it continues rotating inertia when the drive is missing. Solidarity behind the wheel of inertia is the multiplier of revolutions in the middle of two plates that enclose toothed crown and series of planetary gears that multiply the torque of the axis. Below is the alternator whose shaft benefits from the two previous mechanisms, flywheel and multiplier planetary, to print a modulated turn and maximum possible to their coils

In a different embodiment, the turbine is found encapsulated in a tube. This feature takes advantage of the venturi effect, giving the system a greater speed of rotation.

The invention, as can be seen in the drawings Attached, it can be located either on the seabed, or in rivers in the sections of significant current. The anchor on the other hand prevents axial tubular extensions of the conical turbine turn, thus enabling rotation of only the conical turbine thanks to the thrust of the water currents be marine or river against the conical helix, this rotation being the one it drives both the speed multiplier and the steering wheel of inertia and the alternator, finding these three mechanisms in the inside the cone and each acting at the level of its functions: the speed multiplier to expand as much as possible the shaft revolutions, flywheel to smooth the flow of energy between the power source and its load and the alternator to transform the revolutions already multiplied by the multiplier and modulated by the power flywheel electric The entire device is anchored to the support on the ground, generally a block of reinforced concrete, using a cable. In this position the turbine takes advantage of both the upward movement and descent of the waves as the translation, if placed in the area Where the waves break

Description of a preferred embodiment

As can be seen from the observation of the drawings and the description of the invention, this is constituted from a cone-shaped turbine (1), or conical turbine (1) which presents in its exterior a conical helix (2) solidarity whose spiral has an aerodynamic shape that confers rotation to the axis of the conical turbine (1) when faced with water currents. The conical turbine (1) is fixed to the anchor (3) through the tubular extension (4) of its axis that articulates by means of joint homokinetic (5) with the rest of the axial tube (4) reaching it until the anchor (3), usually a reinforced concrete slab, where it remains permanent. This type of anchor allows the conical turbine (1) movements in all directions except down, preventing also the turn on the anchor itself (3), making it possible for the conical turbine (1) is oriented in the direction of the current, getting the best use and consequent performance Of the same. The conical turbine (1) floats thanks to the vacuum of its interior, although the weight of the flywheel mechanisms (6), speed multiplier (7), and alternator (8) that they find inside they counteract said buoyancy, which It is complemented with the counterweights (9), which have the function to maintain the turbine with the least possible force of the current conical in horizontal position in relation to the bottom, so achieve maximum performance, since by reducing its buoyancy the volume of resistance in the direction of the current is increased, thus increasing its performance. The flywheel (6) is found in the uppermost open area of the conical turbine (1) coupled to the shaft by cassette type bearings (10) that prevent the rotation of the axis backwards while continuing to rotate it by inertia when the drive is missing. Solidarity at the wheel of inertia (6) is the speed multiplier (7) in the middle of two plates that enclose a toothed crown (11) and a series of planetary gears (12) that multiply the torque of the shaft. Below, approximately in the center, is the alternator (8) whose axis, which is the same, benefits from the two mechanisms above, flywheel (6) and planetary multiplier (7), to print a modulated turn and maximum possible to your coils rotary
